Emerson AMS Trex Device Communicator Plus (TREXLFPKLWS3S)
The Emerson AMS Trex is a rugged handheld device communicator for configuring diagnosing and troubleshooting field instruments. This Emerson AMS Trex model is the Device Communicator Plus version which supports HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices is intrinsically safe for hazardous areas and has wireless connectivity. It works with instruments from any manufacturer and it can power a device from the communicator itself which makes it a go anywhere tool for instrument technicians and reliability teams.
Key Features
- HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus support: one tool for both protocols with the Plus communication module also providing power for bench setups
- Works with devices from any manufacturer: interoperability through EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language) as supported by the HART Communication Foundation and Fieldbus Foundation
- Built-in device powering: connect the communicator to a loose instrument to power it which isolates the device from the system to help pinpoint power supply, wiring, I/O card or configuration issues
- Configure before the infrastructure is in place: powering the device lets you configure instruments in the field on new projects before power and I/O are installed
- Intrinsically safe: certified (code KL) to ATEX CSA (US/Canada) and IECEx including FISCO where applicable so it can be taken into classified areas
- Wireless and USB connectivity: built in Wi-Fi and USB so data can be moved to and from the communicator by whichever route is most convenient
- AMS Device Manager synchronization: field changes automatically sync with your AMS Device Manager database
- Advanced diagnostics: device dashboards, diagnostics and troubleshooting tips to fix issues where you find them
- Clear touchscreen display: 5.7-inch color VGA resistive touchscreen (640 × 480), driven by an 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor
- Comfortable one-handed operation: an evenly balanced shape and rugged hand strap useful in tight spaces
- Long-lasting rechargeable battery: a lithium ion power module that runs for hours well beyond a full shift even while powering field devices
- App-based and upgradable: Upgrade Studio a PC application keeps the communicator up to date with apps such as Trex Help (a searchable guide) and others available
- Includes carrying case and 3 years of standard support
Typical Applications
- Commissioning and configuring HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus transmitters valve positioners and other smart instruments
- Troubleshooting loop and device problems on the plant floor
- Bench configuration and testing of instruments before installation
- Work in hazardous and classified areas
- Routine maintenance and documentation of field devices
Why Choose It
The Emerson AMS Trex gives instrument technicians a single rugged intrinsically safe tool for both HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus work and its ability to power devices and sync data with AMS Device Manager means fewer trips back to the workshop and better records.
